just upgraded from karmic to lucyd on my dell inspiron 700m with intel graphic card: after boot it crashes nice.
The solution (using an old kernel) found on post #54 from this duplicate bug page https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/568779?comments=all ############### 1. After power on your PC, press shift (keep press) until see boot loader menu. Choose a recovery mode option. 2. On next step select start failsafeX session. 3. Choose OK when advert for poor resolution. 4. Login in, your are now on your desktop 5. Open a terminal command line (Application > Accessories -> terminal) 6. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): "sudo -i" and enter your password. 7. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): "cd /tmp" 8. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): "wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc5-lucid/linux-image-2.6.34-020634rc5-generic_2.6.34-020634rc5_i386.deb"; 9. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): "dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.34-020634rc5-generic_2.6.34-020634rc5_i386.deb" 10. Type this command and press enter (whitout quotes): "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" 11 . Type this command and press enter (whitout quotes): "init 6" ############## worked fine for me. Still unfortunate to see a good old display problem i d encounter on edgy can resurface like this. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
